Can only sit for about 15 minutes at a time, but I wanted to thank all of you for your prayers and good wishes! {Hugs} to Rachel and Pam for your calls. Still very swollen, in pain, using a walker and trying to get comfortable. I get my back brace in 2 weeks and I have to remember, but actually a jolt of agony works as a good reminder, not to bend or lift. Klo is watching me like a hawk and is very very gentle. She's been sitting next to me to be petted and when she lays down, she wraps her paws around my ankle and puts her head on my feet. What a smartie pants. I hope the results of this surgery jumps starts my normal life again, now that "the mess" is cleaned up. Mom is doing OK. She developed pneumonia again but is doing alright. I'm hoping I can bring her back home someday.
